The Glomerata is the annual yearbook of my alma mater, Auburn University. This feature on the site gives a quick glance at the often beautiful and sometimes curious covers of the book, which I collect.
At this point in the Glomerata feature section we exit the 1970s and step cautiously into the 1980s. In the judging a book by its aesthetic cover as an aesthetic, this is approaching a strange time. But we’ll journey on, undaunted. Mostly because you don’t know what’s coming up. Oh, sure, these next three are fairly sedate as these things go. But soon … soon we find one of the series most surprising outliers.
But that’s for next week. Go here for today’s installments. Visit here for the entire section of Glom covers. Try here for some more in-depth looks at various years.
